Oceanside police chief’s wife tells of standoff with Cypress police

Brinda Sue McCoy, who barricaded herself in her home and fired two shots, testifies about a suicidal spiral and says she never meant to aim at police. The prosecutor says she wanted to embarrass her husband.

Hazy from a concoction of prescription pills and martinis, the police chief’s wife said, she sat alone in her Cypress home listening to a Sarah McLachlan song — “Angel” — over and over as dark thoughts flooded her head.
